Batterys turned up today, taking the outer sleeve off I find there Samsung cells.
I paid £4.95 for 5 that equals 10 cells, what actualy came was 10 pr's = 20 cells.

There is something that does not add up to me quite right. I know real market price for Samsung cells when purchased in thousands and its more then 25pence each. Chap is selling them on eBay for a quid, that includes postage, VAT, eBay fees, PayPal fees. I might be thick but I still don't get it.

Not sure,but are these packs used in hospitals as back up and once past there use buy date they won't use them.

I bought two pairs and got four pairs for £1.98. Strange thing is that the postage cost somebody £3.30.

I was going to split the packs and use them for flashlight cells, but now I'm wondering about what else I could use them for. The datasheet says each cell is good for a maximum continuous discharge current of 4000mA. Any suggestions? Top of the list at the moment is to power some downlighting on my little girls pushchair.

I'm in the same boat, I brought the cells just because Of the price
I might make some blocks of cells wired in parallel, by adding the appropriate step up converter I can power many things

For lovers of crab gloves ( which I am)

These are WAY better quality than the aldi /Lidl ones.

Yes 15 quid on. Special rather than 8 at aldi but miles and miles better imho
